Kid Rock - Genuine Article Lyrics
Do what you have toI did what I had toTo break through a pick a style that sticks like glueAnd as I rank I wanna thank no oneCuz I worked like a ***** to get the job doneYou helped me aroundMy parents put me downI never skipped townI stood my groundWe kept showin upDrinkin and throwin upRap was my lifeAs I was growin upActin a fool in school no one topped upSmart ass in class at times abnoxiousDrivin a broncoRunnin my own showAnd pullin the look a like marilyn monroe hoesAnd me and bo got togetherIt made senseSpent many nights in mt. clemens basementI scratched records and performed a few tricksKdc mixLet the black man talk shitPumpin the new sounds town to townWho holds it down like bad leroy brownNow I wont stop cuz yo Im kid rockThe genuine articleCuz I worked like a ***** to get the job doneF-f- fames a costin the price aint niceIts like the roll of the diceOr a whole new lifeBut dont get my song wrongI enjoy it alotWalkin around like a big shotCuz Im kid rockSmooth as an ice cubeCool as an iglooAnd more complex, than a rubix cubeA healthy wealthy young one with a quick tongueSmart from the start and from the heart my rhymes runAnd as I incline thru time to get mineI try not to slide but walk a straight lineThough its hard when the climb gets steepThe one who finds is the one who seeksSo I sought and foughtAnd alot I got taughtAnd although I left those who stole got caughtMany shows I rockedMany suckers I laughed atAnd those who snapped back usually got slappedThe cat if I was strapCuz I was a sun of a gunLivin life on the runNow I pleaded 18 and outdone by noneBold, young, handsome, bad like bronsonPumpin the new sounds town to townAnd when in motown I cool out in greektownOn the upside with nuthin too highThe genuine articleCuz I worked like a ***** to get the job doneChuck nice break that beat downSix generations of rap and Im firstReady to burst, the style is rehersedI worked and worked and worked and I workedWhen many thought I was just gettin jerkedUse the fuze but I payed my duesAnd now know one out there could fill my shoesAnd my pants and do this danceThis shit didnt happen by chanceIt went slow not quick but now Im your pickAint that a trip when I started from zipAnd now up and up and up I wont stopThe flop just pop the flat top the kid rockYes me below key mcWith the ability to rock the partyAnywhere and make people stareIm lookin while Im cookin with no carePumpin the new sounds town to townWho holds it down like bad leroy brownAnd still I wont stop growin this flat topThe genuine articleCuz I worked like a ***** to get the job done(music fades to back)
